Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Analyzing the Statement
The statement says that "morning walks are good for health." This only provides information about morning walks but does not imply anything about the necessity of healthy people going for a morning walk or about the harms of evening walks. Step 2: Evaluating Conclusion I
Conclusion I states that "all healthy people go for a morning walk." The statement only claims that morning walks are good for health, not that all healthy people practice it. Therefore, Conclusion I does not follow from the statement. Step 3: Evaluating Conclusion II
Conclusion II states that "evening walks are harmful." The statement does not mention anything about evening walks or their effects on health. It only discusses the benefits of morning walks. Therefore, Conclusion II does not follow from the statement. Step 4: Conclusion
Since neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is supported by the statement, the correct answer is (3) Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Astrologers habitually prone to goof-ups now have an excuse for why their predictions have been going haywire: the emergence of newer and newer planets that have caused their calculations to go awry. For the international zoom of astronomers who recently discovered eight new planets, new arrivals are, however, a cause of excitement. Indeed, even as the rest of the world continues to be consumed by a morbid passion for shiny new machines, deadly chemicals, and sinister war tactics, astronomers have been doggedly searching the heavens for more heavenly bodies in the belief that the search will take us closer to a more exalted goal, that of knowing the truth about us and the universe. ”Reality is much bigger than it seems... the part we call the universe is the nearest tip of the iceberg,” one scientist remarked. How true. In the beginning, sceptics could not accept that the Earth not only moves, but alone that it revolves around the Sun, because of an unshaken belief that the Earth was the centre of the universe. We’ve come a long way. Today, scientists have spotted nearly 80 extra-solar planets using sophisticated instruments.
